Amanda, Telford, Shropshire , “Busy mum or dad”

+ It is a very attractive, modern looking fridgefreezer, with plenty of space and shelves in the fridge for a family of 5. Also, convenient as the fridgefreezer is on wheels, so easy to manouvre around. It get's very cold, and is also very quiet, and at £299.00 is good value for money.

- The freezer is on the small side, so not great if you keep lot's of frozen food, which isn't a problem for us. Also, be careful not to knock the freezer, as our kitchen chair came in contact with freezer,(kids!) and it has put a small dent in the door, otherwise no more bad points to date, and I have been waiting for a new fridgefreezer for 17 years! so pleased.

+ Usable capacity. Cool ice tray. Nice and cold on low (#2) seting.

- High top tray shelf in door that has clear hinged lid a bit pointless as it cannot be moved/fit to a lower location meaning with it's high postion you can't place jars in it (unable to close door) or can't see what small items are in the tray.

Yin Ka, London , “Busy mum or dad”

+ Although the freezer is not frost free, it does not have the annoying building of ice that you normally get with non frost free freezers.

- Needs to have an extra freezer draw, then this product would be PERFECT! Bottom freezer needs to be a little bigger hence my suggestion of an extra draw.

+ I like the finish on the door, so easy to clean, the fridge part is big enough for my family of five. I am very happy with my samsung fridgefreezer

- The freezer part could of been alittle bigger, I was upset that the fridgefreezer got scratched on the side when it was delivered, but accidents happen, I couldn't be bothered to go through with sending it back.
